Natalie and Taylor will be turning 8 on March 24th, 2012. I cannot believe we are already here! It really does seem like just a minute ago they were babies, and I was tired! Ok, I'm still tired, but they are older now! They will have an interview with the Bishop, and there tell him if they have made the choice to get baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so thankful for my own membership in the church. Times have not always been easy for me, especially as a teenager, and therefor my testimony struggled. But He never left me.

The girls attended their baptism preview on Sunday. I am glad their birthday is in March because I don't think they could stand to wait any longer! They got these amazing towels for their special day. They snuggled them all day. When Natalie woke up Monday morning I went in their room and as she was making her bed, she said that she was so excited she wished she could have been baptized yesterday :) Silly girl! I told her how sad Grandma and Grandpa Blue would have been if they missed it.

This subway art was displayed on the table. I LOVE IT! (Thanks for the post Cherie!)

And in other news.......

I don't have room in my life for HATERS. My priorities are my family, health, calling, and a million other things before I worry about what other people think about me or my family.

I found myself questioning this on Sunday evening. I received an email that was not so charming.

I'm not going to get into it, but it left me feeling like...."Am I crazy???" "Did we make the right choice???"

Well folks, we did make the right choice. Jason and I parent with the help of the Holy Ghost. We follow the promptings that are given to us. We use these gifts to guide our kids to happiness.
